Bulb question

FrozzFrozz Posts: 78

Hi

I planted some bulbs in last autumn. Being a novice I forgot to write down what they are. no flower has appeared and all I have aid what looks like a 2ft blade of grass. 

Any ideas what this could be?

Thanks

    It could be a 2' blade of grass Frozz. Is it just the one blade or are there several? Might  be a later flowering bulb.

    A photo might help as bulb leaves don't all look the same

    Or possibly unflowered crocuses or irises. Don't pull it out, the bulbs need the work they do for next year. Maybe you'll get flowers next year

    I agree with nutcutlet - sometimes plants need to get established for a year or perhaps more before flowering.  They are often worth waiting for.

    On behalf of the bulbs I request that you leave them til they go brown
